Description:
The CommitDatabase extension is intended for use with Satellite Forms 7 PocketPC applications that use the PDB device database format. The PocketPC PDB database format uses caching of database record data for performance reasons, and cached records are written to storage when the application exits. If the device is reset while the Satellite Forms 7 PocketPC PDB application is running, data may be lost because the database changes are not committed to storage.
The CommitDatabase extension provides a function to commit database changes to storage on command, enabling you to increase your application data security in the event of a system reset or power loss.
The CommitDatabase function can be called on individual application data tables on an as needed basis. Database changes are automatically written to storage when an application closes.
Installation:
1. Close Satellite Forms App Designer.
2. Copy CommitDatabase.inf to \Satellite Forms 7\Extensions\Standard\ folder.
3. Copy SFE_CommitDatabase.sfx to \Satellite Forms 7\Extensions\Standard\PPC_ARM folder.
You can then restart App Designer, and the CommitDatabase extension will
now be available to add to your PocketPC PDB projects.
Usage:
result = CommitDatabase( Tables("tablename").index )
Commits the specified table database to permanent storage.
A result value of zero indicates success, non-zero result indicates an error.
